If your organisation hasn’t worked with AUDE before here is a helpful way to think about the opportunities we have available. Some of these are commercial opportunities while others position you to demonstrate expertise to the AUDE audience.
AUDE runs four main events each year, all of which provide a range of opportunities for supporters. These are:
Your knowledge as an expert organisation in your field is potentially very valuable to AUDE’s members, and we often source speakers and those able to present learning webinars and site tours of interest to the AUDE community, or contributors to our reports. We also issue invitations to tender for the creation of some of our published materials. If you are among our known network of experts there may be opportunities to attend our regional meetings and special interest group meetings, or to speak at our events, including those delivered online.
AUDE works with a limited number of organisations each year in a Business Partnership relationship. Full information on becoming an AUDE Business Partner member of the association can be found elsewhere online. There is an application process involved as there is a cap on the number of organisations we will work with in this capacity and we want to ensure that the full range of our members’ interests are covered by the organisations we work with in this way. Applications are judged against rigorous criteria for entry and our Executive has the final word on whether applications are approved or not. A Business Partner membership of the association lasts for one year (though this can be renewed while the two organisations continue to align), and there is a membership charge starting at £11000 (+VAT) per annum. Eligible companies provide products and services to support the evolution, innovation, transformation and management of higher educational estates and facilities.
